the inside scoop on YA books

Category: Books to Movies

There seems to a lot of these… what’s the first that comes to mind? The Hunger Games, as I’m sure you’ve all watched it. Then there’s Divergent, The Spectacular Now, The Fault in Our Stars, etc etc.

I hadn’t read this yet… because well, I’ve heard it doesn’t have a happy ending. And yes, what’s up with that? Does it make it more realistic?

What it’s about: In this young adult romance, a girl named Violet falls for Finch, a boy who is intent on ending his life.
